02.Heart Of The Continent |
| [00:02.00] |
. |
| [00:08.05] |
North wind sinks |
| [00:09.74] |
The fence around a lot full of debris |
| [00:15.05] |
Near the corner of Memorial and Me |
| [00:23.43] |
Where resurrected brick and drywall lean back into place |
| [00:30.86] |
There's a terrified reflection of my face |
| [00:38.49] |
All alone at the gleaming knife display |
| [00:42.49] |
In the army surplus sales. |
| [00:46.42] |
As the dusk descends and my inspiration fails. |
| [00:54.80] |
Ghost-filled discount parkas, sleeping bags |
| [01:02.30] |
Peer at me from the crumpled dark. |
| [01:18.68] |
Inky bruises punched into the sky by bolts of light |
| [01:25.40] |
And then leak across the body of tonight. |
| [01:33.54] |
While rain and thunder drop and roll, |
| [01:37.29] |
Then stop short of a storm |
| [01:40.97] |
Leave the air stuck with this waiting to be born. |
| [01:48.85] |
As I stand before an unresponsive automatic door, |
| [01:56.78] |
Just another door that won't open for me anymore |
| [02:05.41] |
The exit red gets brighter then blinks off, |
| [02:15.72] |
Presses me into the crumpled dark. |
| [02:55.29] |
There's a billboard by the highway |
| [02:59.54] |
That says "Welcome to", "Bienvenue" |
| [03:07.10] |
But no sign to show you when you go away. |
| [03:15.60] |
And our demolitions punctuate |
| [03:19.23] |
|
| [03:23.21] |
All we mean to say, then leave too late. |
| [03:29.90] |
So I'll make my shaky exclamation mark |
| [03:38.58] |
With a hand full of the crumpled dark. |
